In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chipotle sauce (or adobo), and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
In the same skillet, melt butter or add oil. Cook eggs to your preference—fried, over-easy, or scrambled. Season with salt and pepper.
Toast the bagels or buns until golden brown.
Spread chipotle mayo generously on both halves of each toasted bun.
Begin layering: on each bottom half, place lettuce or sprouts, followed by tomato slices, avocado, the cooked egg, 2 slices of bacon, and a slice of pepper jack cheese.
Cap with the top half of the bun and serve immediately while warm.
Variations :
Use turkey bacon or tempeh for a lighter or vegetarian version.
Swap out pepper jack for Monterey Jack or cheddar based on your spice preference.
Add a fried green tomato for an extra Southern California twist.
Top with microgreens or baby arugula for more flavor and texture.
Tips :
For creamier avocado flavor, mash it with lime juice and a pinch of salt before spreading.
Use a serrated knife to neatly slice through the sandwich without smashing the fillings.
For meal prep, cook bacon and eggs in advance and reheat just before assembling.
Customize heat levels in the mayo by adjusting the amount of chipotle or adding hot sauce.
